And they're off!
The race started om time at 1240 GMT with the
biggest committee boat in the world... a car ferry with people waving and
shouting. The quay was packed and the locals gave us a great send off with
brass bands on both sides of the marina entrance! Not a lot of wind for
the start, but Night Owl dropped into a good spot in the leading group.
Sadly that group is made of bigger boats and they have sped away. We'll
get them on handicap later ;o)
Watermaker has been re-commissioned now and is
working, and James made the first sandwiches of the trip. Macaroni
Carbonara tonight. Yum.
Off to sail the boat now. Bye
Bye
